What is Life?

What is life? Do you know? Well, the simple answer is…

Energy… Life, is energy. It is the energy that makes your heart beat and makes you breathe, that causes the cells of your body to automatically grow and reproduce the moment you are conceived! - Tae Yun Kim

That is the simple answer to life. However, when we talk about life, we are talking about the living of the mundane, ‘physical’ life. Now, that is another thing altogether. You will find that life is a mystery... unpredictable, and constantly, a struggle.

In the real world, life is difficult. People will quarrel with you, take advantage of you. You’ll fight with your family, your friends and colleagues.You’ll lose best friends you thought would always be there. You’ll cry, and you’ll laugh. You will be happy, and you will be sad. Some days you will feel so blissful, and some days you will feel so miserable. You will find that life is constantly, a coaster ride.

You’ll learn things that will change you forever. You will find that the more you learn, the more you know, the more you don’t know. Some days, you will find that you have a pretty good grasp on how things work, and at other times, you are completely baffled by how anything works.

One day, you will understand, in life, shit happens. If you can handle it, you will emerge stronger and wiser. And ultimately, you will come to the realization that none of these matter at all for, dust to dust do we return. This is life.

Real life is an ambiguous world, where actions sometimes had no meaning, where chaos reigned and no one was allowed to see the big picture, only their small portion of it. - Bentley Little

Life is a battle in which you are to show your pluck, and woe be to the coward. Whether passed on a bed of sickness or a tented field, it is ever the same fair play and admits no foolish distinction. Despair and postponement are cowardice and defeat. Men were born to succeed, not to fail. - Henry David Thoreau

Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little coarse, and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice. Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life is composed of lights and shadows, and we would be untruthful, insincere, and saccharine if we tried to pretend there were no shadows. Most things are good, and they are the strongest things; but there are evil things too, and you are not doing a child a favour by trying to shield him from reality. The important thing is to teach a child that good can always triumph over evil. - Walt Disney

A long series of what-if's that lead from one moment to the next; time never pausing for you to catch your breath, to make sense of the cards that have been handed to you. And all you can do is play your cards and hope for the best, because in the end, it all comes back to those three basics. Fate, Luck, Chance. - Kelseyleigh Reber

Life is the most exciting opportunity we have. But we have one shot. You graduate from college once, and that’s it. You’re going out of that nest. And you have to find that courage that’s deep, deep, deep in there. Every step of the way. - Andrew Shue

How is it that one day life is orderly and you are content, a little cynical perhaps but on the whole just so, and then without warning you find the solid floor is a trapdoor and you are now in another place whose geography is uncertain and whose customs are strange? - Jeanette Winterson

Now… The eternal present is the space within which your whole life unfolds, the one factor that remains constant. Life is now. There was never a time when your life was not now, nor will there ever be. - Eckhart Tolle
